I am so happy someone else see this for what it is. Get everyone mad at eachother so they forget who they should really be angry with. This is no
longer a black white yellow or red issue. This is about injustice and unequality spread evenly across all races. Please can we all at least agree on
what colors we will be wearing when it comes time to throw down?

What Obama actually said was that after the election he would have more maneuverability visa ve the Neo-Cons who are actually destabilizing Russia and
the Middle East in the name of "democracy." The "democracy" established will elect extremists in both Russia and the Middle East, extremists who
will go "Gog-a" all over the "Magog" of destabilization.

As far as Neo-cons are concerned, democracy is great for people half way around the world, while we ourselves lose democracy at home. Neo-cons want a
freedom agenda abroad while we get drones and cameras at home. Bush and Obama have both gone along with this mentality of valuing the rights of
foreigners abroad while American working people lose real democracy at home (both political and economic). The 1% are great advocates for democracy
when "democracy" is really a meaningless phrase to mean the spread of market liberalism.

In the case of Obama, I think that he is the smarter of the two. The Russians probably trust him more (the Brzezinski issue aside). What he was
saying was that a certain normalcy can exist between superpowers after the election, regardless of who gets in. That is the dirty little secret.
There is very little difference between the Parties. No race war is necessary when the two parties really both pursue the same agendas for the 1%.

One last thing. I am a nerdy white guy with a little Indian in him but not much. I am more black than Barack Obama. Believe me. We may have class
struggles, but "race" is one concept that has to go. Only dumb hicks and illuminist intellectuals like Jefferson or de Goubineau believe race
actually exists in any meaningful sense.

By the way, has anyone actually listened to Jeremiah Wright's comments about America in their WHOLE context? I have, and they are very interesting.

Really? Wow I must have missed the bus on this one.

I had to work just as hard, or maybe even harder, as anyone else (well most anyone else) to get where I am today and I don't recall the government
going out of their way to give me a leg up to do much of anything simply because I am black...

Alas, I don't know everything... Maybe I missed my affirmative action handout, and reparations because I had my bass too loud, and I don't read.

(How'd I do?)

Which topic comes first in a news hour depends on the news channel and how they want to spin their most loved and hated political figures. Obama is
up for reelection; remember he is famous for being the first black president of the USA. Of course that will be spun again.

Race wars? Shouldn't those things stay inside the prison populations, and not in the general public? The last time I heard of race trouble, Rodney
King was the center of attention, or rather, the actions of crowds of people hiding behind the sympathy of Rodney King were the trouble. No, I do not
want to have to put a curfew on myself for fear of violence in public because of my skin color, again. I don't want to have to get a weapon and
sentry my house for fear of looters or arsonists looking for an easy target. Please do not go morally or socially bankrupt because of the death of
someone you never met before and wouldn't even notice was missing, had his photo never been on television.

Respectfully, I wish the press would put a moratorium on news like this. This is the kind of sensationalism I remember from the shows of Jerry
Springer. The only reason I'd watch is to see when the topic would end.

"Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places." Matthew 24:7

Nation - éthnos (from ethō, "forming a custom, culture") – properly, people joined by practicing similar customs or common culture; a people:
RACE: ETHNIC

People sit here and argue about race as if race has anything to do with the problems that we are experiencing. As morality breaks down, so does
society. Most thieves steal these days to fund a lifestyles of drugs, not because they are hungry. Most murders occur because of rage, drugs,
psychopathy, jeolousy, envy etc. Most families breakdown due to adultery, porn addiction, jeolousy etc. Many children are never disciplined because
the parents think its punishment. Disrespect of authority is allowed to fester in children to become a cancer to society.

Lenin said "The best revolutionary is a youth devoid of morals." In this statement many of us, atheist and religious alike, can see where our
society may be heading. Many Christians no longer hold absolute moral truth because they've fallen away into the world and it's beliefs. Once we are
convinced that tolerance should rule above absolute moral truth, we fail as a society. Inequity occurs because the common mantra is "to each his
own". Hearts grow cold because we each live for ourselves. Hate grows because I now have to protect my possessions because others will come along and
take it, sometimes with force, if I don't. This list could be endless. Many of us can see what the controlled media is doing - they are making it a
race issue to further drive their agenda. In my heart I know that both parties have succumbed and are now tragically paying the price for their
actions. I wasn't there and only God knows what happened. But I'm darned sure that the media is using it as a fan for the fire. We shouldn't. We
should be examining how the woodpile ever was gathered in the first place and why it became so dry that it's ready to catch fire at any second.

I now know why because I turned to the Lord. I can now see our little children being taught that it's WRONG to insist that absolute morality, mixed
with a heavy dose of mercy, is to be considered as bigotry and intolerance. There is nothing wrong with pointing out that many of our communities -
black, white and Hispanic - have succumbed to lack of morality. I was taught that it was wrong, always, to take something that did not belong to me.
Guess what? I'm 45 and have NEVER stolen. Whilst out last month with some old friends, their four year old stole a little truck from one of the shops
that we visited. Half hour later, his mom noticed it in his hands. I said lets go back to the shop and have him apologise and pay for it. She refused,
saying it doesn't really matter.

Let's multiply that a million fold and look where we are at - a nation full of labels like "racist "bigot" and "intolerant" thrown around to
silence those who dare speak up to point people towards a solution.
Many minorities would rather believe msm - that it's because of their skin colour and continual 'suppression' - that they've turned out this way.
Many a fine minority pastors are preaching the exact opposite - that they have heaped upon their own heads the consequences of rebelling against the
Lord Almighty. It's time the white preachers do the same in their own communities. Atheists - you won't understand that we are in captivity to
Babylon right now. You are being taugh to fight and rebel against His punishment. I, as a Christian, am to make peace as best I can by repenting
(changing my mind) and seeking Him Above who has willed it. It's His plan, and it is to wake you up, to force His Israel into seeking Him. Many of
US. Its either His Way or the world's way and I think that He's quickly proving that the latter is the path to rebellion and destruction. The msm is
pushing you to the latter as your solution, many of our leaders are doing it too, films like The Hunger Games...The question is, at what point will
you, if ever, seek Him Above, the God of Israel, for the Truth? Is it going to take full on revolution and death and famine to humble you, or will it
take just a little pressure....or sadly, will you go with world who will prepare for the great battle on the day of His return?

Some frightening times on the horizon. Regardless of any religion or lack of, people have lost their way and there is no incentive to follow a
righteous path. It's almost necessary to become malicious in order to be successful, most all people who try to be as good and empathic as they can
get no where in this society. Our kids are being inadvertently(?) taught to dehumanize others in school, when we should be able to feel others pain we
feel nothing. Humans at large are devolving into beasts and no one seems to care or understand why, morality and principle have all been neglected in
favor of rapid progression and profit.

In the spirit of tolerance and friendship... "God be with you friend". One person at a time, one good deed or one smile, we have to rebuild and
better the world around us. The hate needs to stop, enough is enough.

I say this even though I am no perfect person and I am guilty of some of the things I preach, but at least I realize it. I would like to believe that
religion had this purpose (and still does to some) when it was conceived, but people have turned it into an institution of/and propaganda while the
true purpose and meaning have been lost. Now it doesn't matter how you act or your moral value, it only matters that you believe in the same god as
the people around you. The righteous path has been lost and traded for a symbol of social status.

I partially agree with what you're saying, maybe not the war part but yesterday dozens of kids who were supposed to attend this rally wound up
attending a looting party at a Walgreens Store. Mostly its an excuse to get out of school or perhaps the teachers are giving extra credit for this
in a supposed conjunction for a social studies class.

Now these kids probably have a started a new wave because they know now that the police will have a hard time identifying all of them let alone the
security at Walgreens.

Whateve,r it will be the entire country is being set-up for an excuse for some type of law whether it be an enforced martial law because of civil
unrest or just more restrictive law on our freedoms. ( Like an excuse to curtail or do away with the right to carry a gun.) Just wait an see what
comes out of this mess.

Well I can't speak on the Aussies, but here in the US: I pay my taxes, get my health insurance withdrawn from my paycheck and pay deductibles and
co-pays when I do go to the doctor, have student loans I have to pay off (my fault really I was smart enough for scholarships just too lazy to apply
back then), no free cash handouts here, and so on...

Now about this "too" business, I'm still not quite sure where your sources are coming from, but the US government does not bend over backwards for
black people despite what you may have heard. Take it from one who knows.

I almost cracked my left testical ha haing at this post.
"Real aussies" are the decendents of convicts and political prisoners sent to australia by a gov. that didn't want them.
I've read about the history of the "aboriginals" and the people that "colonized" them and I don't blame them for not wanting to be "real
aussies", as you put it.
Anyhow, could we please put this nonsence to rest?
They have been hypeing this race war tripe sense this country was started.
If it has'nt happened yet I seriously dout it will.
This is to keep us at each others throats while they rape us and kill off all of our future.
I'm a 35 year old black man from atl. ga and let me tell you, my alabaster companions, that the idea that we.are somehow catered to is crap.
I personally think that's a cop out used by people who have.been in a socially dominate position and see that dominance slipping away for various
reasons.

Also could we please stop making blanket statements about people?
Each person is an individual and their actions reflect on them as individuals.
When I die and i'm judged, i'll be judged for MY actions not those of others.
Also most of the generalizations used for blacks,and other minorities, were created by racest and have been used on us sense we were brought here so
when here those ideas communicated alarms start ringing.
We are all in the same paddleless boat, floating down the same fecal filled creek.
It's time to find a.new way to do things or THEY will win..
